I don't understand pricing models that limit the amount of posts you can make. That literally stops the user from doing the thing that was the whole point of doing the thing.

(Yes, wrote that like that on purpose)

Cool that you launched and want to build a business 100% but reconsider your features vs cost design and the value you want to deliver. You'll have a lot better chance at building a solid platform to push back on the monetary building tactics Medium has been pushing the hard the past couple years.

Limit on things like custom domains, customization, or tack on features that aid in growth or marketing if you want to wrap cost up in gained features/value by paying.

Admittedly, limiting the free plan by posts was the laziest way I could keep from giving everything away for free. As the app matures, I'll be adjusting plan features and pricing to match what the market desires.

Thanks for your honest feedback and letting me know which features you find value in.

You need 'oh damn I didn't know I needed that' features to be able price something, that people can get elsewhere, in a way that makes a viable business. The market desires everything for nothing and always will so waiting on the market to inform you pricing structure is super risky.
